Ke$ha Plays Wireless Festival In London, Meets Jedward, Talks New Album!
Ke$ha brought out her inner 'animal' at the kick-off of her 'Get Sleazy' UK tour over the weekend - The Nashville native electro-pop singer played an electrifying set at London's Wireless Festival on Saturday (July 2nd) before thousands of people gathered in the British capital's Hyde Park. Watch Ke$ha tearing the stage up as well as giving a backstage interview at the Wiress Festival in the videos below.
The following day, on Sunday, Ke$ha touched down in the city of Birmingham (England) where she played the second 'Get Sleazy Tour' UK date at the O2 Academy. And there, Ke$ha got to meet the flamboyant twins John and Edward who combined are Jedward! lol. They're famous in the UK music scene for participating at a 'X Factor' season, for their super annoying personality and most recently for representing Ireland on the Eurovision Contest. Ke$ha showed her wildest side striking a very ferocious pose with the twins (see below). And it seems Ke$ha liked them cuz she later re-tweeted this picture they posted online.
In other news, in a recent interview with UK's entertaiment website Digital Spy, Ke$ha spilled some beans regarding her upcoming album, which I'm so anticipating already!
How is work going on your next album?
"I'm writing constantly about all my crazy experiences across the world, so I have a lot of music I've already written. I haven't turned that material into a record yet, but it's definitely coming along. No final decisions have been made."
How many songs have you written so far?
"Oh God, I have so many songs! Songs will leak and I don't even remember writing them. I've written about 200. How many songs have I written recently? I honestly couldn't say."
You recently revealed that you were making a '70s rock record; what did you mean by that?
"Yeah, that's what I've been listening to a lot recently and I think it's so ballsy and I love that."
Has that been inspired by your flamboyant stage shows?
"Totally. I've been playing a lot of guitar and so it's quite exciting to think about threading that into the new material and just making it better and better."
What '70s rock artists have you been listening to for inspiration?
"I've been listening to a lot of Led Zeppelin, AC/DC and probably the one CD I haven't taken out of my record player in a long time is Iggy Pop's The Idiot."
Are there any other sounds you would like to play around with?
"I definitely want the next record to be experimental and I would love to play with all the different sounds of the music I listen to. I really want some dirty guitar and I wouldn't mind if there were elements of blues."
Have you decided which producers you would like to work with yet?
"I haven't yet. Of course I'm going to work with Doctor Luke and Max Martin on some songs, but I would also love to work with some maybe not-so-obvious producers."
